No, not Field of Dreams - Bull Durham. It's certainly MY favorite BB movie. Sarandon is terrific in it and so is the supporting cast including a young Tim Robbins, who met Sarandon on the set and...well, you know the rest. Second for me would be Eight Men Out, cuz I love John Sayles, the cast, it was shot mostly in my hometown and I'm in it.

I also liked Costner in:

The Untouchables
Silverado
No Way Out

Dances With Wolves was a sincere effort, which personally I don't care for. But Costner's good in it, as far as it goes.

He's been in some stinkers too. If actors need a paycheck, it's just about inevitable that'll happen eventually in the Hollywood system. He doesn't seem to have very good judgement on post-apocalyptic sci-fi (Waterword and The Postman). But he's not that bad, even in these very bad movies.
